DAO Pistol

My M&P Shield has a safety. The handgun/trigger functions the same as the model with no safety.

If the no safety model were available for the same price I got it for, I'd have gone that route.
As it stands, I just don't use the thumb safety.

What is the objection to a trigger blade safety?
You can always swap out the trigger and/or modify it.
But I think the trigger blade safety is a good thing to have on a gun.

I am not interested in extra moving parts that, in my opinion, serve no good purpose. I will never buy a gun with a trigger safety. I'd be ok with replacing the trigger, but if I can get a gun originally designed without- I'd rather do that and not modify it. I'm not saying my way is the right way, that's just what I've decided. I would consider a full size Glock (9mm, .45, or 10mm) but if I stick to my convictions- I stand in my own way of that purchase, and a lot of other good guns for that matter. I'd never concealed carry a double stack so that's why I'd go right for the full size, which I wouldn't carry unless I was open carrying in the woods. Anyway... my thoughts on this tooic. Thanks for the reply.

Revolver

Just picked up a Ruger Sp101 .357 mag (2.5") and I love it. Shooting this gun further solidified DAO in anything I conceal, in my mind. But I do prefer the simplicity and capacity of a semi-auto for every day carry. Hence my question. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks- I'll look into this!

FWIW I know Sig P229 (& maybe 226?) offer a DAK trigger. I've no experience with it.

Thanks for the reply! I'll look into this.

H&K offers a lot of their models in DAO and you might be able to convert a DA/SA to DAO, if I read right.

Thanks! I'll definitely look into them.

S & W bodyguard .380.

I'm most likely not going to be looking for a pocket pistol- but not completely out of the picture. Thanks!

Why not the trigger safety? For the fuck lot of good it does, treat it like the child safe lighters with the little piece of metal over the wheel and just pop that sucker out of there and your good to go. .


Or get a revolver.

Haha, point taken. See my other comment ( I did recently get a revolver and I love it). Thanks.

I love my RM380. The trigger pull is really long, but it doesn't take much time to get used to it. The gun has been 100% reliable after over 500 rounds.

Also, my wife has a Ruger SP101 that is DAO. A set of Wolff springs reduced the pull to a very manageable, but safe result. Great gun, though a bit heavy.

Thanks- I'll definitely look into that. And if you read my other reply to a comment I actually am a new owner of a sp101. I'm very happy with it! The grip feels great and I don't mind the trigger pull. Thanks for the reply!

Because it's the most absurd device ever touted as a safety feature?

It keeps the gun from firing when the trigger is depressed - until you depress the trigger. Wait. WHAT?

Completely agree.
